I like different statement jewelry, especially around the ears.

The hardest thing as somebody who does both is - and I'm very serious as an actor, and I consider myself very serious as a musician, engineer, music artist - is learning that it's OK to be versatile.

I don't really have a main source for my style inspiration. It's really about however I feel about myself at the moment.

When you get bullied, you automatically think that you're the reason why you're getting bullied. The reality is, it's about them, not you... I'm all about blocking people. I'm all about saying, 'You know what, I don't need this in my life.'

I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart. 'Wanna Say' is one of the few love songs I've ever done.

I think that with 'The Vampire Diaries,' you never know what's going to happen, and I don't think the characters necessarily know, either. So you can only weigh so much, and then it might just come down to 'kill or be killed.'

My experience with music, I'm not going to say extremely negative, but it's definitely been a grind; it's been grimy - it hasn't been a pretty process. It's left me crying, you know, on the carpet in my tiny apartment with, like, no money. But it's been worth it, it's my passion, my dream, it's what I love to do.

I never want to be a spectacle, but I also feel like a look should always have a little bit of an edge.

I think the hardest thing to do in a relationship is something for yourself.

I'd really like to work with Gwen Stefani and Cee Lo.

My first show was in front of 30,000 people with will.i.am, and I wasn't even that nervous.

I'm happy when I have, like, one fan, but the fact that I'm getting fans from different places and different communities, it's really amazing.

I like the idea of being so passionate about everything I do and the fact that I might wake up tomorrow and say 'I want to be a chef,' and just pour myself into that.

If I have an audition, I go to the audition in character. I'm in character when I walk in the room. I mean, I'm still sweet to everyone, but I'm very much the character.

I actually got a play from auditioning for something in 'Back Stage' magazine.

I'm very strange, I'm not going to lie.

Anyone who knows me knows what I'm about - how much I'm into empowerment, equal rights and everyone just loving themselves.

I love to add '90s trends mixed with modern day pieces I find along my many travels. Like these cool fun hats from Europe I have. I love to collect different ones from every country. I have them from London to Brussels.

I love a cool bralette paired with a high-waisted jean, maybe with Chanel suspenders and a good platform shoe.

It's so important to get your skin to look even, whether it's with a MAC Cosmetics glow, a Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, or even just a solid foundation. Start off with a good prep and a good primer.

If you're cast on 'The Vampire Diaries,' the likelihood of you dying is very good.

Tupac has always been somebody who represented a higher consciousness of what it means on both sides of the coin to be black in America. He and Prince were leaders who moved to the beat of their own drum, and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps.

I'm really into kind of finding different masculine pieces and making them feminine. Like cool oxfords.

'Roxbury Drive' was the street I grew up on as a little kid, and it was the street that I first listened to records on, and where I actually really first fell in love with music.
